Commitment...
One of my students was inspired by my story of waiting until 35 years of age to commit all of my time to music. She is currently approaching 40 and is slowly getting back into music after a youthful effort. I started thinking about why I went for it and I believe it is never too late to start something new.
Gigs I've had include, landscaping, truck driver, cryogenic plant operator, short order cook and working in the oil fields of New Mexico while juggling late night gigs and dreaming of a life as a full time musician.
Looking back I realize nothing was executed as well as it should have been due to lack of focus. It wasn't until I made a commitment to what was in my heart did my life become clear.
It also became more fun! I still worried about the stuff that most worry about but now I was doing what I loved. Doing anything well takes time, total focus and attention to succeed.
I have always been fascinated with the guitar and music production live and in the studio using reel to reel, cassette, eight track and digital recording.
Teaching allows me to share years of experience touring and performing with others across the US, Italy and Europe. My performance schedule challenges me with new music constantly while recording myself and others allows me to keep a hand in the art of music production.
